Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders left a series of nasty messages for the chairwoman of the Nevada Democrat Party, Roberta Lange, Nevada political reporter Jon Ralston is reporting.
The messages were received after the contentious Nevada Democrat Convention that saw fights erupt between Bernie and Hillary supporters and that was eventually shut down over security concerns. The disputes began when the Lange made decision that helped Hillary Clinton win 20 delegates to the convention, while Sanders only won 15 delegates.
According to Ralston’s report one of the messages calls for the public execution of Chairwoman Lange:
MALE CALLER: Hi Roberta Lange. This is a citizen of the United States of America and I just wanted to let you know that I think people like you should be hung in a public execution to show this world that we won’t stand for this sort of corruption. I don’t know what kind of money they are paying to you, but I don’t know how you sleep at night. You are a sick, twisted piece of shit and I hope you burn for this!
To see more of the vulgar venom like this visit Ralston’s post:
MALE CALLER: Oh Roberta, Roberta, Roberta, you old, old hag. Oh, we watched the whole thing in Nevada. You’re really kinda screwed, lady. Um, yeah. Really stupid. Fuck you.
Other less vulgar tweets by Sanders supporters help explain why they are so upset:
As Republicans continue to unite behind their nominee Donald Trump, Democrat operatives are openly worrying about the growing division between Bernie and Hillary supporters. David Wade at Politico recently advocated for unity by calling Senator Sanders a “zombie candidate” and worried about the damage the energetic Sanders campaign could do to Hillary’s general election chances.
